As the Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA) celebrates 40 years, the organization sought to recognize the best and the brightest from the next generation of construction financial management leaders by announcing the first “40 Under 40” program. In response, CFMA received 115 submissions representing young professionals who positively impact the construction industry and their companies.

CFMA is the only non-profit organization dedicated to serving the educational needs of today’s construction financial professionals. Established in 1981, CFMA's General Members include general contractors, specialty trades, developers, construction managers, architects, engineers, principals, and material and equipment suppliers. Associate Members include professionals in the accounting, insurance, surety, technology, legal, and banking industries, or any other specialty in the construction industry. ¶ Austin Industries submitted four nominees that were among the best and the brightest on our accounting team. Each nominee was certainly deserving of inclusion in the 40 Under 40 program for their professionalism, skills, and drive to make lasting impact at Austin Industries. Our nominees are: Alexis Briggs - Accounting Manager, Austin Bridge & Road; Shevonne Lewis - Accounting Manager, Austin Commercial; Fabiola Garza - Interim Controller, Austin Industrial; Steven Spradlin - Interim Director of Field Accounting and Training, Austin Industries ¶ The company is also pleased to announce that CFMA selected Steven Spradlin to be included in this year’s 40 Under 40 program. Please join Austin in offering our congratulations to all of this year's nominees.
